as he was on Wimbledon’s grass.
The Swedish tennis legend, Bjorn Borg, is the answer to a trivia question not typically asked.
After Rafael Nadal‘s astonishing 14 men’s singles titles at the French Open, who won the second most?
The answer is Borg.
He dominated the event for the latter half of the 1970s into the 1980s, winning as an 18-year-old in 1974, then again in 1975, and from 1978-81. If not for Nadal winning the title five consecutive times (2010-14), he and Borg would share the record for most consecutive singles titles at four (though Nadal accomplished that feat twice and also had the 5-year stretch for good measure).
Just to review, The Fan Teaser was the creation of former Ann Arbor News Sports Editor Geoff Larcom. Longtime friend and fellow Ann Arbor News alum, Pat Schutte, took it to heights previously unknown. We aim to keep it alive here at The Sports Fan Project. The cropped photo and the accompanying clue give you an idea as to who or what the image is of. We invite you to use the Comment option to take a crack at solving the Teaser and, if you’re so inclined, participate in some good-spirited banter with your fellow sports fans. The Fan Teaser will appear each Friday morning with the reveal coming to you Sunday.
